Chapter 121: Dawn or Darkness
"Niu Liu, your brain was stoned? Can't do such a small thing? I'm telling you, if there is a problem with the people and food here, it will not be enough to cut down your whole family! ”
"What do you see? Pursuit! Pursuit......"
"Whoever is that, hurry up and arrange for people to transfer people and food!"
"Go to the house and tell me about the situation here, and let them send the main force over quickly!"
"What? What do you say about the captives? Of course they were killed, so what are they doing with them? What if any of the thieves don't die and run away, tell them about the situation here? Do you think your thousands of people can stop them from 400,000 or what? ”
"Don't ...... General, don't ......" finally escaped death, and the old grandson who escaped from the camp of the Qin army suddenly panicked in his heart when he heard the other party say that he was going to kill them.
"Marquis, you can't kill prisoners, if this is known by Gongzi, we will not be able to escape death!" Someone immediately persuaded him.
"Leave them to the army to take care of, Lao Tzu doesn't have this idle effort!" Junhou Sun Yi also seemed to be worried, and did not mention the killing of prisoners.
Lao Sun Tou and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief, and their lives were saved.
Most of them can't run away because of injuries, and chicken thieves like Lao Sun Tou are not nothing, but they can be counted on one hand.
Under effective orders, the soldiers were busy with their own business, and although it was chaotic, it did not make people feel clueless.
Seeing that the few captives were sent away, the number of soldiers escorting them was not large.
Sun Yi suddenly said with some concern: "You say, what if they don't run away?" ”
"......" The person next to him was stunned, how can I answer this question?
However, it turned out that Sun Yi's concerns were not unfounded.
There were more than 20 unwounded prisoners, more than 200 wounded prisoners, and only two were escorted.
It was impossible to take care of so many people, and the soldiers who were escorting them gathered together to prevent a sneak attack, which was very unreasonable.
But in such an arrangement, none of these captives escaped, so that when the gang was sent to Aocang, almost all of them were confused.
Let's talk about the other side.
The Qin army, which finally escaped, didn't dare to stop for a moment, the team had already dispersed, and those who could gather a hundred people were considered large-scale.
The battle damage in this battle cannot even be counted by themselves.
As for going back, how do you report it......
Can you directly say that you have lost at least 300 people on your side as soon as you meet you?
Can you say that you haven't fought yet, and you've run away?
Will you be beheaded when you go back?
Will you starve to death if you go up the mountain?
Then the two thousand people began to gather a team, and they could find as much as they could, and if they couldn't find it, they wouldn't dare to go out and talk nonsense.
After all, defeat is to kill the head......
That evening, two thousand men returned to the camp with a contingent of less than a thousand.
The appearance is a little miserable, the armor on his body is broken, and he is covered in blood.
"General, we have been ambushed by thieves in a valley to the north, near the mountain, numbering at least fifteen hundred."
Zhang Han's brows furrowed, and a burst of anger couldn't help but appear on his face: "Nonsense, if there are really fifteen hundred thieves, how can you come back?" ”
Zhang Han was angry not because they were ambushed, but because the other party was lying.
Zhang Han knew better than anyone else what the strength was between the enemy and us, so he firmly believed that if Wang Buxing really sent 1,500 people to ambush his 2,000 people, maybe some people would escape, but there would definitely not be as many as 1,000 people who escaped.
"General, what we said is true, the reason why we can kill is because the thieves did not control the battle situation well, we have not yet completely entered the encirclement, their archers who were ambushed on both sides opened their bows in advance, just one of us lost three or four hundred men, we saw that we could not do anything, so we immediately ordered a retreat, and at this time the thieves were not all in place to intercept the back road, we rushed out with the help of this gap, even so, we still left a thousand brothers, please the general surrendered!"
"Please surrender the general!"
The two thousand people were very smart and did not blindly say that they would fight to the death and not retreat or anything, because everyone knew that with the combat effectiveness of the king's army, the result of the death battle army could only be the annihilation of the entire army.
If the two thousand were five hundred who were not hungry against the king, perhaps they would still have some courage.
"Why are they ambushing you there?" Zhang Han nodded, he was skeptical of this statement, but he didn't ask those doubts again.
"General, we found a common people today, and sent people to follow them from a distance, and when we got there, we found that there were many car prints on the ground, and they were very deep, so we judged that it should be a stronghold for their migrating people, so we wanted to take it and transport the grain back, but we didn't expect that they would have ambushes there......"
Hearing this reason, Zhang Han was a little unsure.
According to the routine of the Qin army, even if the people were allowed to move, they would definitely not send so many troops to defend them.
And taking into account the reality of the situation, then ......
Zhang Han's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart suddenly rejoiced: "It must be because of the grain and grass ......"
In order to prevent themselves from getting grain and grass, the reason for arranging thousands of troops to defend the people's migration base with a large amount of grain and grass is also in the past.
If they hadn't arranged troops to defend, then these two thousand men would have succeeded today.
Thinking of this, Zhang Han realized the urgency of time.
Now there was no time to waste on him, so he hurriedly ordered: "The general of Chuanben ordered, order 50,000 troops, and immediately go to the mountain valley to grab grain and grass, no one is allowed to stop on the way, and they must catch up before they transfer!" ”
"General, it's already dark...... Peng Jia frowned faintly, marching at night, soldiers are taboo.
"Light more torches, and arrange the way ahead, we have already caught the grass and the snakes today, presumably they will definitely move overnight, or send heavy troops to protect, and they must send troops within an hour!" Zhang Han cut the railway.
That's grain and grass, what's wrong with the night?
No matter how dangerous it is to march at night, is there a danger that his army will run out of food?
Now only a few people know about this news, and they are all suppressed by Zhang Han.
So with such an opportunity to get grain and grass in front of him, he must grasp it, even if he only grabs tens of thousands of stones, he can barely support the army for a day, right?
On the other side, Zhang Han also sent people back to Xianyang to ask for help.
The grain route was cut off, the army was trapped, and if there was no external support, Zhang Han didn't know how many days he could support now.
And now he can only pin his hopes on Sima Xin and Dong Peng on the one hand, and Xianyang on the other.
